IFF_ALLMULTI/IFF_PROMISC as well as multicast filter configuration.
Rewrite RX filter logic to reduce number of register accesses and
make it handle promiscuous/allmulti toggling without controller
reinitialization.
Previously rl(4) counted on controller reinitialization to reprogram
promiscuous configuration but r211767 resulted in avoiding
controller reinitialization whenever promiscuous mode is toggled.
To address this, keep track of driver's view of interface state and
handle IFF_ALLMULTI/IFF_PROMISC changes without reinitializing
controller. This should fix a regression introduced in r211267.
While I'm here remove unnecessary variable reassignment in ioctl
handler.

register mapping. I'm not sure whether it comes from the fact that
controllers live behind certain PCI brdge(PLX PCI 6152 33BC) and
the bridge has some issues in handling I/O space register mapping.
Unfortunately it's not possible to narrow down to an exact
controller that shows this issue because RealTek used the same PCI
device/revision id again. In theory, it's possible to check parent
PCI bridge device and change rl(4) to use memory space register
mapping if the parent PCI bridge is PLX PCI 6152. But I didn't try
to do that and we wouldn't get much benefit with added complexity.
Blindly switching to use memory space register mapping for rl(4)
may make most old controllers not to work. At least, I don't want
to take potential risk from such change. So use I/O space register
mapping by default but give users chance to override it via a
tunable. The tunable to use memory space register mapping would be
given by adding the following line to /boot/loader.conf file.
dev.rl.%d.prefer_iomap="0"
This change makes P811B quad-port work with this tunable.

According to the specifications AMD/ATI SMBus controller is very
similar to SMBus controller found in PIIX4.
Some notable differences:
o different bit for enabling/signalling regular interrupt mode
o in practice seems to support only polling mode
Thus, intpm driver is modified to support polling-only mode
and to recognize SB700 PCI ID and differences.

For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they

CPU for too long period than necessary. Additively, interfaces are kept
polled (in the tick) even if no more packets are available.
In order to avoid such situations a new generic mechanism can be
implemented in proactive way, keeping track of the time spent on any
packet and fragmenting the time for any tick, stopping the processing
as soon as possible.
In order to implement such mechanism, the polling handler needs to
change, returning the number of packets processed.
While the intended logic is not part of this patch, the polling KPI is
broken by this commit, adding an int return value and the new flag
IFCAP_POLLING_NOCOUNT (which will signal that the return value is
meaningless for the installed handler and checking should be skipped).
Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to signal such situation.

command whenever Tx completion interrupt is raised. The Tx poll
bit is cleared when all packets waiting to be transferred have been
processed. This means the second Tx poll command can be silently
ignored as the Tx poll bit could be still active while processing
of previous Tx poll command is in progress.
To address the issue re(4) used to invoke the Tx poll command in Tx
completion handler whenever it detects there are pending packets in
TxQ. However that still does not seem to completely eliminate
watchdog timeouts seen on RealTek PCIe controllers. To fix the
issue kick Tx poll command only after Tx completion interrupt is
raised as this would indicate Tx is now idle state such that it can
accept new Tx poll command again. While here apply this workaround
for PCIe based controllers as other controllers does not seem to
have this limitation.

o Added additional check to know whether we've really encountered
watchdog timeouts or missed Tx completion interrupts. This change
may help to track down the cause of watchdog timeouts.
o In interrupt handler, removed a check for link state change

rely on the event for a long time. In addition, re(4) didn't

- The hardware does not support DAC so limit DMA address space to
4GB.
- Removed BUS_DMA_ALLOC_NOW flag.
- Created separated Tx buffer and Rx buffer DMA tags. Previously
it used to single DMA tag and it was not possible to specify
different DMA restrictions.
- Apply 4 bytes alignment limitation of Tx buffer.
- Apply 8 bytes alignment limitation of Rx buffer.
- Tx side bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg(9) support.
- Preallocate Tx DMA maps as creating DMA maps take very long time
on architectures that require real DMA maps.
- Adjust guard buffer size to 1522 + 8 as it should include VLAN
and additional reserved bytes in Rx buffer.
- Plug memory leak in device detach. Previously wrong buffer
address was used to free allocated memory.
- Added rl_list_rx_init() to clear Rx buffer and cleared the
buffer.
- Don't destroy DMA maps in rl_txeof() as the DMA map should be
reused. There is no reason to destroy/recreate the DMA maps in
this driver.
- Removed rl_dma_map_rxbuf()/rl_dma_map_txbuf() callbacks.
- The hardware does not support descriptor based DMA on Tx side
and the Tx buffer address should be aligned on 4 bytes boundary
as well as manual padding for short frames. Because of this
hardware limitation rl(4) always used to invoke m_defrag(9) to
get a 4 bytes aligned single buffer. However m_defrag(9) takes
a lot of CPU cycles on slow machines and not all packets need
the help of m_defrag(9). Armed with the information, don't
invoke m_defrag(9) if the following conditions are true.
1. Buffer is not fragmented.
2. Buffer is aligned on 4 bytes boundary.
3. Manual padding is not necessary.
4. Or padding is necessary but upper stack passed a writable
buffer and the space needed for padding is satisfied.
This change combined with preallocated DMA maps greatly
increased Tx performance of driver on sparc64.
- Moved bus_dmamap_sync(9) in rl_start_locked() to rl_encap() and
corrected memory synchronization operation specifier of
bus_dmamap_sync(9).
- Removed bus_dmamap_unload(9) in rl_stop(). There is no need to
reload/unload Rx buffer as rl(4) always have to copy from the
buffer. It just needs proper bus_dmamap_sync(9) calls before
copying the received frame.
With this change rl(4) should work on systems with more than 4GB
memory.

- Use bus_foo rather than bus_space_foo and remove bus space tag and

- The lpbb(4) driver just grabs Giant for now. This will be refined later
